Does anyone know a good BSN program?

I would really prefer an online program, I don't care if it's private or not, as long as it's fast and it's cheap. I understand some people don't like private schools, I'm in a situation where I just don't care, I need to get my BSN as soon as possible.

    I recently earned an online BSN degree through Western Governors University. It took 10 months, required completion of 34 credits, and cost approximately $5,800.

    I'm looking at their program too. It is one of the options my employ will pay for.

    How intense are the courses? I'm working a 0.6 and I have a family. So I'm looking for something that allows me to still sleep and see them in addition to working? Would 10 months be realistic still? Or would it be more realistic to take more time. I'd love to just get it done but I don't want to kill myself like nursing school lol!

    Grand Canyon University is another option that I'm considering.

    I worked a 1.0 FTE night shift job while completing the program. Although I do not have kids, people with children and family obligations have completed the program in less than a year.

    GCU's tuition seems really expensive to me. Why pay $495 per credit ($15,000 for 30 credits) when so many online BSN programs are charging significantly less?

    OP,

    Just to be clear, are you looking to BECOME a nurse, or are you an RN looking for an RN-to-BSN program?
